This is the first break I've had from the radio show since Midday premiered in February. We are airing recorded Midday programs that were broadcast previously on WYPR. Remember: Thursday is Thanksgiving Day and Friday is the National Day of Listening. StoryCorps is turning the day after Thanksgiving into a National Day of Listening, encouraging family members to record each other’s stories. WYPR has a link on the homepage, and Andy Bienstock, the vice president and the program directror, says the station will soon begin airing spots.

Suggestion -- if you've been long meaning to sit down with a tape recorder to tape a conversation with an elderly relative -- a grandmother or interesting old uncle -- consider doing it this week.
